| synergistic interaction among begomoviruses leads to the suppression of host defense-related gene expression and breakdown of resistance in chilli. | chilli (capsicum sp.) is one of the economically important spice and vegetable crops grown in india and suffers great losses due to the infection of begomoviruses. conventional breeding approaches have resulted in development of a few cultivars of chilli resistant to begomoviruses. a severe leaf curl disease was observed on one such resistant chilli cultivar (capsicum annuum cv. kalyanpur chanchal) grown in the experimental field of the jawaharlal nehru university, new delhi. four different vira ... | 2016 | 26780359 |
| identification and molecular characterization of a new recombinant begomovirus and associated betasatellite dna infecting capsicum annuum in india. | capsicum annuum (chilli) is a perennial herbaceous plant that is cultivated as an annual crop throughout the world, including india. chilli leaf curl disease (chilcd) is a major biotic constraint, causing major losses in chilli production. during 2014, leaf samples of chilli plants displaying leaf curl disease were collected from the ahmedabad district of gujarat, india. these samples were used to isolate, clone and sequence viral genomic dna and an associated betasatellite dna molecule. sequenc ... | 2016 | 26831933 |
